It's snowing pretty hard at the moment in central London, and actually settling.
Tomorrow morning will be fun!

( OTT: FWIW, I hate snow, ice, and cold. You would have to pay me to go and climb up a mountain to one of those ghastly ski resorts. I went to visit a famous ski resort about 4 years ago. That will suffice me for a lifetime. )

Then having survived the de-icing queue to arrive 90 minutes late at AMS, I performed an impressive dash to the train station only to find The Netherlands is experiencing its own snow issues and multiple trains have been cancelled.

Having just spent the weekend in Alaska (Fairbanks and then Anchorage) with temperatures between -20C and -30C and some light snow flurries I can report that it was business as usual in the urban metropolises, at the airports, and on the railways!

I'm due to travel later this week on one of the flights that got cancelled today. In the (hopefully unlikely) event that the same fate befalls my flight in due course, does anyone know if BA are amenable to rebooking LHR passengers onto services out of LCY (better for me than waiting for a later LHR flight)?
No other UK weather warnings at the moment, just ORD, but that's fairly normal I would suggest.
